[Question] The device does not connect to the Internet when sharing WiFi Hotspot from a PC

[pro100Hub]

Hello. When I open a WiFi access point on 2.4Ghz, I cannot connect to the Internet (tablet, smartphone) while Simplewall is running. If I disable Simplewall and run Windows Firewall, the connection is established immediately, in a matter of milliseconds. How can I allow Simplewall to connect devices via Hotspot?

Hi, Try this: open Simplewall and go to Rules or Profiles, locate your hotspot adapter then create a rule to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic on that adapter. Apply the changes and restart your hotspot.

I am not very familiar with configuring custom rules. Please take a look at the settings in the photo below. The WiFi connection is working, but the internet is not.
